Literature References: First obtained by degradation of allopregnane-3b,11b,17a,20b,21-pentol (Reichstein's Substance A): Reichstein, Helv. Chim. Acta 19, 402 (1936), but later isolated in small quantities directly from extracts of the adrenal cortex: Reichstein, von Euw, ibid. 21, 1197 (1938); ibid. 24, 879 (1941). It is uncertain whether this substance occurs in the fresh adrenal gland; it may possibly occur by oxidation or decompn during the isolation procedure: Reichstein, Shoppee, Vitam. Horm. I, 368 (1943). Structure-activity study: S. Sassa et al., J. Biol. Chem. 254, 10011 (1979). Chromatographic studies: A. Kerebel et al., J. Chromatogr. 140, 229 (1977); J. T. Lin, E. Heftmann, ibid. 237, 215 (1982).
